UNDERGARMENT.

Application filed July 17, 1922. Serial No. 575,618.

venting the urine and feces from running down the leg of the infant and to help to keep the soiled diaper away from the skin of the child. 7

Another object of the invention is to provide reinforcing strips forthe cuff so as to stiffen the same and prevent it from Working down the leg.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim. 7 p

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a view of a rubber garment made in accordance with this invention.

Figure 2 is an enlarged cross section view of one leg of the garment.

Figure 3 is a view of the cuff broken away.

In these views, 1 indicates the well known type of rubber garment for infants. My

with parts invention consists in placing cuffs 2 on the legs of the garment, each cuff consisting of two rings 3 and 3, one at the top of the 7 with reinforcing strips 4 of rubber or the like between the bands which act to stiffen the cuff. The band 3 is less'tight than the one 3' so that it will-not press on the leg but is just fight enough to keep the cuff fromunfolding down the leg. The band '3' is tight enough to prevent the urine and feces from passing under it. The 'cufi' will also prevent the soiled. diaper from coming in contact with the leg. I also form two holes 5 in each leg for receiving the hosesupporter pin which fastens the supporter to the diaper. These holes are reinforced with rubber.

If the pants'are put on after the diaper the cuff can be folded up between the skin andthe diaper. If put on before the diaper the pants can be pulled down, the cufiiet in place, and the diaper pinned around the cuff and then the pants can be pulled up over the diaper. V

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the const'ruction. and in the'combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

In some cases the cuffs can be made of I claim is .A garment of the class describedformed of rubber and having cuffs atits cuffs being formed of rubberbands spaced apart and reinforcing strips between the bands. I V f In testimony whereof I affix. my signature. I
